Synopsis for "Snow Blind"
A Dutch assassin called the Snow Queen is walking through Lowtown when Aldo, a young thief, steals her briefcase. She shoots at him and threatens to kill his friend Rose, but he runs away anyway. Rose cries out for help, and Patch comes to her aid. She tells him what happened and which way Aldo and the Snow Queen went. Aldo hides and opens the Queen’s briefcase, finding cash and a timer inside. The timer activates, and he does not realize the briefcase is a bomb. Patch finds the Queen, but she escapes him by using her powers to scramble his senses. When he comes to, Logan remembers hearing about her during his time as a spy. After explaining the situation to a bartender friend, he is directed to a man named Ganif who runs the child thieves. Meanwhile, the Snow Queen kidnaps Rose at gunpoint and forces the girl to take her to Aldo’s hiding places. At the thieves’ hideout, Patch convinces Ganif to give him a piece of Aldo’s clothing so he can track the boy’s scent. Rose and the Snow Queen find Aldo in an alley, and the Queen chases him to the roof of a building. Patch arrives and attacks her, but she uses her powers to disorient him again. He manages to wound her, but she shoots him then shoots at Aldo. She misses, knocking Rose off the roof instead. The girl hangs on to the ledge, and Aldo drops the briefcase to pull her up. The Snow Queen grabs the case and flees while Logan tends to the kids. On a roof some distance away, she opens the briefcase only to see the timer’s countdown is over, and the bomb explodes, killing her. Logan, Aldo, and Rose see the blast and walk away.
